We just got dumped with a butt-load last night, way more than the amount that was forecast. It's still snowing. And it's all heading East. And which part of the world would you be in? You know, but unless you say, no one else will. Frank's up in the North West. Finally saw snow yesterday morn and it melted within a couple of hours here on Long Island. Weren't you in the 70's just a couple weeks ago? The city was but out here on the island temps are much colder especially near the Pine Barrens which is devoid of pavement which retains heat. I see Bush is finally admitting to the existance of global warming but said **** all to the Kyoto agreement. Big business has him in their pocket. When will business figure out they can make money protecting the environment? At the risk of sounding like a Republican, business follows the markets, and the current markets are driven by the "buy-now-pay-later" mentality of the current generation. So if you want to change business priorities you need to change consumer priorities. And cheap gasoline has a higher priority than the environment. Funny though, the solution is so simple: fusion. The government should be dumping every last penny into research into fusion research. It would be like having a chunk of the Sun right here on Earth, to tap for as much energy as we need for the next thousand years. That's the future if the human race is going to survive; the only question is whether we will choose to do it now or later. Agreed with fusion. The Brookhaven National Laboratory is right around the corner but I doubt they are doing anything in that regards. I do know they have a 1/2 mile underground ring doing atom smashing. The problem with fusion is containing it. It takes more energy to contain it than it generates. (kind of like Mark Morgan's posts...) |
